DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0018] The present invention will be clearer from the following
description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings,
which show, for purpose of illustration only, the preferred
embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
[0019] With reference to FIGS. 1-5, a modular basketball backboard
with the rim according to a preferred embodiment of the present
invention comprises: a backboard 1, a rim 2, and three fixing ropes
3, 4, 5. The backboard 1 includes a body 11 and a covering disc 12,
the body 11 is formed in a circular disc shape and is made of form
material, and the body 11 has a first front face 111 and a first
back face 112, the first front face 111 has a hole 113 with two
stepped sections defined on a lower side thereof. The covering disc
12 is hollow and has a profile corresponding to a profile of the
body 11, the covering disc 12 has a second front face 121, a second
back face 122, an opening 123 formed on a peripheral side thereof
to accommodate the body 11 in the covering disc 12 from the opening
123, a zipper 124 mounted on the opening 123 to open and close the
opening 123, a through orifice 125 arranged on the second front
face 121 of the covering disc 12 corresponding to the hole 113 of
the body 11, a first ribbon 126 horizontally extending on the
second front face 121 of the covering disc 12, a second ribbon 126a
horizontally extending on the second back face 122 of the covering
disc 12, two apertures 127 formed on two sides of the first ribbon
126 and the second ribbon 126a, a third ribbon 128 vertically
extending on the second back face 122 of the covering disc 12, and
a longitudinal adjusting rope 129 secured on the third ribbon 128.
The rim 2 is formed in a circular loop shape and is made of foam
material, the rim 2 has an inserting portion 21 extending outwardly
from a peripheral side thereof, two reinforced protrusions 22
arranged on two sides of the inserting portion 21, wherein the
inserting portion 21 has two hooks 211 extending outwardly from two
sides of a lower end thereof and has a slot 212 defined between the
two hooks 211, such that the inserting portion 21 inserts into the
hole 113 of the body 11 via the through orifice 125 of the covering
disc 12 of the backboard 1, the two hooks 211 of the inserting
portion 21 retain with the two stepped sections of the hole 113,
the two reinforced protrusions 22 contact with the backboard 1 to
reinforce the rim 2, and two ends of two fixing ropes 3, 4 of the
three fixing ropes 3, 4, 5 are inserted and tied on the two
apertures 127 of the covering disc 12 through the covering disc 12
of the backboard 1, one end of another fixing rope 5 of the three
fixing ropes 3, 4, 5 is tied on the longitudinal adjusting rope 129
of the second back face 122 of the covering disc 12 of the
backboard 1.
[0020] In use, as shown in FIG. 6, the modular basketball backboard
with the rim cooperates with a bouncer 6, and the bouncer 6 has a
support frame 61, a mesh 62 connecting with the support frame 61 by
ways of a plurality of resilient elements (not shown), plural
columns 63 extending upwardly from the support frame 61, and a
protective net 64 surrounding around the plural columns 63, such
that the three fixing ropes 3, 4, 5 are tied on the plural columns
63 of the bouncer 6 and then are pulled tightly, and the backboard
1 and the rim 2 are fixed in the protective net 64 of the bouncer 6
to shoot a basketball. When the rim 2 does not keep horizontal, as
shown in FIG. 7, a fixing rope 5 is tied on the longitudinal
adjusting rope 129 of the second back face 122 of the covering disc
12 of the backboard 1 so that the backboard 1 is located vertically
and the rim 2 is fixed horizontally.
[0021] As illuminated in FIG. 8, in user, the modular basketball
backboard with the rim matches with three columns 7, and the three
columns 7 are erected at three positions (i.e., three peak
positions of a triangle) of a ground, the three fixing ropes 3, 4,
5 are tied on the three columns 7 tightly, hence the backboard 1
and the rim 2 suspend so that a user shoots the basketball. In
details, the three fixing ropes 3, 4, 5 are tied on three positions
of the three columns 7 tightly so that the backboard 1 and the rim
2 suspend, and the user shoots the basketball into the rim 2.
[0022] Thereby, the modular basketball backboard with the rim of
the present invention has advantages as follows:
[0023] 1. The backboard 1 and the rim 2 are fixed and suspend by
tying the three fixing ropes 3, 4, 5 on the three columns 7 which
are erected on the three peak positions of the triangle of the
ground, and the rim 2 retains with the backboard 1, thus fixing and
removing the backboard 1 and the rim 2 and adjusting their height
easily. Preferably, the modular basketball backboard with the rim
cooperates with the bouncer 6 to enhance convenience and
entertainment.
[0024] 2. The three fixing ropes 3, 4, 5 are tied on the three
positions of the three columns 7 tightly so that the backboard 1
and the rim 2 suspend, and the body 11 and the rim 2 are made of
the foam material, thus increasing safety and using
requirement.
[0025] While various embodiments in accordance with the present
invention have been shown and described, it is clear to those
skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without
departing from the scope of the present invention.
